Family Member Of George Zimmerman To The NAACP: 'There Will Be Blood On Your Hands'

The Daily Caller has a report about a letter purporting to be sent by a family member of George Zimmerman–the man who shot and killed Trayvon Martin–to the head of the Seminole County NAACP, Turner Clayton.

The letter rips the NAACP for the way that Zimmerman has been convicted in the public mind, and says that the entire Zimmerman family has gone into hiding out of fear for their safety.

Here's a sample:

If something happens to George as a result of the race furor stirred up by this mischaracterization of George there will be blood on your hands as well as the rest of the racists that have rushed to judgment. You need to call off the dogs. Period. Publicly and swiftly.

But the most interesting part of the letter letter includes a brief story of how Zimmerman did activist work on behalf of a black homeless man who was beaten by the son of a Sanford, Florida police officer–work he did alongside the NAACP.

You will recall the incident of the beating of the black homeless man Sherman Ware on December 4, 2010 by the son of a Sanford police officer. The beating sparked outrage in the community but there were very few that stepped up to do anything about it. I would presume the inaction was because of the fact that he was homeless not because he was black. Do you know the individual who stepped up when no one else in the black community would? Do you know who spent tireless hours putting flyers on the cars of persons parked in the churches of the black community? Do you know who waited for the church-goers to get out of church so that he could hand them flyers in an attempt to organize the black community against this horrible miscarriage of justice? Do you know who helped organize the City Hall meeting on January 8, 2011 at Sanford City Hall?? That person was GEORGE ZIMMERMAN. Ironic, isn't it?

Clayton has been in the news for disagreeing with some other civil-rights activists who have called for stepped up civil-disobedience, or economic "sanctions" against local businesses in Sanford Florida.

We called the NAACP for comment or confirmation about the letter's claims, but haven't heard back yet. We'll let you know what they say.
